Let's keep it up! I propose that each voter who wants real change here in Fall River, study and vote for three new councilors. This would give a solid majority to the voices of reason!

First, pick new people that have some experience helping the citizens of Fall River and have knowledge of how "City Government Works." Second, long term residency is important and a candidate must understand the

fundamentals of good business practice.

During my 12yrs. on the Water Board, I've had the pleasure of being involved in the establishment of the Bio-Reserve which allowed the city to acquire 300 acres for the Bio-Park. We now have a new Townsend Hill Water Tank, which has increased the water quality and pressure in the Southend, along with the 42 miles of new water mains, all during the term that I served.

Also, I've been in the real estate business for 38yrs. This is an area that the council needs lots of help! I've toured about a half dozen of the vacant schools and that was quite a few months ago! Nothing has been done to investigate a proper value for these properties.

My home burned to the ground in 1982! We should not depend on Government grants to maintain our Police and Fire Departments. The Federal Government is slashing its budget. Criminals must never take over our streets! May God Bless and Protect all the citizens of Fall River!
